Lucky Saturday

You know how you can have weeks and weeksof pitiful yard sales, and then one day, everything goes right? That's how Saturday was for me.

It was one of those lucky mornings whereeverything I wanted appeared and treasuresI couldn't imagine were waiting for me.I have been wanting wicker furniture formy back porch and I purchased a nice setof white wicker for SEVEN dollars. No -ty-at the end. Just SEVEN for two wickerchairs, an oval table and a love seat.That would have made my day but at thesame sale I got a mirror that looks likeit should be in a church and a nice oldprint of a long admired Paul Berthon printcalled L'ermitage.

One block away I picked up a very cute purseand a sleeping bag with two of my daughter'sfavorite things on it: peace signs and VWs.

Then at my last yard sale I purchased a groovymetal file box, three pretty rectangular pillows and a beautiful stained glass floor lamp with a dimmer (below). A few other sundry items go unmentioned here because they pale incomparison to what I have mentioned. Yardsale days like these make all the sucky days worth while.
